Hit 500km last night. Giving it a safe, but relatively hard run in. Obviously warming her right up before I put it under any load. Such a fun ride.

You perth guys really like your whites! :P Don't forget to take that hideous sticker and number plate frame off!

When can we see pics with the wheels?

That's the first thing I did after I took that photo(remove the sticker). I'll get around to removing the number plate frame when my personalised euro plates come in.

Today's been a really hectic day today, and by the time I could take pics it was overcast. I'll take pics of the car in the apartment garage tonight though.

Hey Stevo,

Got a tip off today and went and checked your car out this morning so i could see a white in the flesh.! Very nice.

More pics/updates in my other thread

As you can see it definitely NEEDS a 1-1.5inch drop. The great part is reducing the wheel weight from 9.2kg(stock weight?? can someone confirm) to 6.75kg on each corner. Makes a heap of difference with acceleration - mind though that I'm not exceeding 4krpm as I have yet to break in the car.
